How has the defense sought to exclude Hispanics from the jury in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Carrasco, E054770 (Cal. App. 2013):

though defendant was Hispanic, the defense did not want Hispanics on the jury because the jurors would sympathize with the Hispanic victims. (People v. Clark (2011) 52 Cal.4th 856, 905-906.) Three of the four victims had relied on defendant to provide food and a banquet facility for their Quinceanera celebrations. Hispanics would likely empathize with the victims who suffered emotional and financial loss because of defendant's failure to provide the promised facility and services for their special celebrations.
